You could put a stuffed chicken in there to be "mom"

I thought of that but didn't know if it would work. Thank you.

I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know how I'll handle it if I lose Seven. Probably like I handled looking my Chinese Crested there years ago. I still miss her.

Thank you! I find Mozart and Bach are liked by the chicks. Or these 3 tracks (designed after a study at University of Bristol which showed they love classical music haha).

It calms them and makes them sleep... My chicks have stopped play fighting and are napping now from this music

I also played chirping sounds when chicks were hatching to encourage them tehehhe.

Good luck!! xx
